After a month including a solar eclipse, an earthquake 4.8,
a deluge of rain, and temperatures 10-15 degrees below normal,
Earth Day has finally arrived.
Last night was in the low 30s so I had to cover the plants
I had just potted up over the weekend.
And tonight will be the same!
Blankets for all new blooms.
Especially the new Ranunculus
I've always wanted to grow.
It's such a lovely color and
I love the petal shapes and transparency.
Other cold-tolerant flowers in my pots include:
Osteospermum, Lobulalria, Calibrachoa,
Fortunately, the daffodils are fine.
The other pot with spring perennials
such as fern, Hosta, and Astilbe
should be okay too.
And my dahlia project in the garage
will be protected inside
as I try to encourage them to
come back this year.
Spring marches on
to May Day!
